Suffering After Marriage
Mother Intan

At Mother Intan's house...

Mother Intan's face looks so pouted, because ever since Mika divorced Arya, her husband has become so cold with her. He always comes home late at night. And it went early in the morning too.

" Glucose.gluc...gluc..." Arya drank water while staring at her mother who had been daydreaming.

" Mama why ? My food was even gone, but Mama didn't touch the food at all. Don't think too much of Mama's condition anymore," asked Arya with furrowed eyebrows in focus.

" So.tuk.tuk..tuk.." Mother Intan remained silent, only her right hand could be heard knocking on the dining table many times.

" Mama, Mama why ? " Arya asked as she touched her mother's hand.

" Mommy is bored alone at home. This house is like a cemetery. Especially since you divorced Mika, from morning to night Mama is always alone here. Your father always comes home late every day, and so do you" said his mother with her mouth curled down.

"What ? " shouted Arya who looked surprised . "Where is Papa ? " ask Arya with raised eyebrows

"When you divorce Mika, your father is always angry with Mama. If you go to the garden too early in the morning, and go home too late at night. Mama asked me nicely, but your father replied angrily. Mama once looked for your father in the garden, but there was no Papa." Said Mother Intan with a sad look.

" It looks like Papa is hiding something from us" Arya replied

" Mama's hunch is like that too, it seems like we have to find out," replied Mother Intan with her eyebrows rising, and approached each other.

" Later let me ask Papa, and if he is angry then I will investigate" said Arya

" Arya, don't you want to get married? Mama is bored at home alone, if you get married then Mama will be a friend at home."

"I don't want to marry Ma," Arya said lowered her head

" Why ? Do you still love Ara ? " ask Mother Intan while looking at Arya.

" Yes Ma, I still love him. I will never forget him. "

" Then approach him again . Mama promised not to disturb your household. Moreover, you already have twins. Mama just wants you to have a wife, so that someone will accompany you and take care of you. Mama just pity you, if Mama's not around then you'll be alone. And this is Mama's own fault, because she used to always interfere in your household. Try Mama does not interfere, then you will be happy," said Mother Intan with tears so abundant flowing from both corners of her eyes.

"Sorry Ma, I can't get close to Ara anymore, I don't deserve Ara. She also has a husband. Better to eat after that break. Later I will find a maid so that someone accompanies Mama at home. Then I go to work first. I'll promise you I'll be home soon." Reply Arya who immediately moved from her seat

" When are you going to be like this ? If you don't want to get close to him, then forget him."Ibu Intan looked into Arya's eyes that looked so sad .

" Maybe I'll continue like this. I had wanted to kill myself, but when I remembered the faces of Mama and the twins I immediately distanced my intentions. If I die then who will take care of Mama , and take Mama while washing the blood?  I also still have responsibility for the twins, "Arya's responsibility is down, she tries to hold back her tears so as not to drip.

18:50 hours

Arya kept her promise, today she came home sooner than usual because she wanted to talk to her Papa.

" Krieeeeeett ! "The door sounds open.Mother Intan, immediately smiled to see Arya who came.

"Mama thinks you're lying" said Ms. Intan

" Where might I lie," said Arya who immediately went to her room to change clothes.Finished changing clothes she immediately met her mother. All this time he was deliberately home late at night, because when he was at home he always remembered his ex-wife.

It's 21:00, but his father hasn't come home yet. "Where maybe Papa's still in the garden at this hour. He must have gone somewhere" he murmured in his heart.

" Ma, you better get some sleep first. Let me wait for Papa. "persuade Arya, because her mother wants to wait for her Papa .

" Mommy wants to wait for your dad to come home, maybe he'll be home soon." Reply Mama

" I beg Ma , Mama's condition will be like yesterday again. If Mama's body drops again then it will be very difficult to do dialysis," Arya persuaded.

" Hmmm, fine then." said her mother who went straight to her room.

At 22:00 her father also has not returned home, Arya even to sleep in the living room.

At 23:25 Arya heard the sound of her Papa's car. Her father went straight inside, and as he was about to pass through the living room he fell silent at the sight of Arya in the living room.

" Arya, why haven't you slept yet ? " asked her father while looking at Arya.

" Where's Papa from? Why do we always come home late at night ? " asked Arya with raised eyebrows.

" Why is your question like that ? Though you yourself know that Papa every day just go to work in the garden." Answer her father nervously.

" Papa is not an office worker, Papa only works in the garden, so where might be this hour from the garden" said Arya staring at her Papa with a face that was already red.

To be honest he had a hunch that all of this had something to do with Mika, but he did not want to accuse her without any evidence. He did not want to make the fatal mistake that he had done with Ara before.

" It's up to you to believe it or not to say Papa, which surely Papa doesn't care. Instead of you busy taking care of Papa, you better take care of yourself" said his father in a loud voice.

"Papa is so outrageous once .Though Mama's situation was like that, but Papa never cared about Mama in the slightest," Arya replied with a fiery face. According to him, his father was very outrageous. He never thought of his mother. He and his mother were invisible, coming home late every day and going early in the morning without speaking.

"You alone take care of your Mama, because Papa is very tired," he replied with a stingy.

" It's not just Papa who's tired, but me too . Every day I wake up early to clean the house, cook, and wash my clothes . I didn't ask for anything from Papa, I just wanted Papa to accompany Mama . Not even coming home late at night like this." Shouted Arya with such a loud voice . But his father ignored his words. Dab he just left Arya.

"Arrrgghh" he cried in frustration as he struck the table in front of him.

"It looks like I have to follow Papa tomorrow, so that this matter is quickly resolved," Arya muttered in her heart.
